ha ha. having a moment of reflection about how insane the buddie arc in season 3 is. because of course we all know that eddie yells at buck for not being around enough and basically calls him a deadbeat dad <- guy he has known for like maybe 18 months at this point btw. and instead of this being a common fanon interpretation of an ambiguously-intended canon conversation, the show revisits this in a later episode and has buck say In The Text uh yeah eddie. you were right, actually. you and chris needed me, and i wasn’t around, and that was fucked up of me to do. i’m sorry, and i’m not going to leave you hanging like that again. after eddie has already explicitly stated that he trusts buck with chris more than he trusts anyone else in the world (including christopher’s two living grandparents, eddie’s own sisters, his grandmother, the woman he pays to care for chris, and eddie’s aunt, all of whom we have met in the context of the show up to this point). like. lol.
